About this event

Come and help us develop and maintain the awesome trails in the FoD.

To volunteer you must be over the age of 18. Anyone between 12 -16 wishing to join us on a dig will need to attend with a supervising adult.


For new diggers

  • Meet us at the DTV container (rightt of the Pedalabikeway Café)
  • Wear something you don’t mind getting dirty
  • Wear comfortable sturdy boots
  • Bring gloves (gardening/building), waterproofs, sunscreen and insect repellent, a mask (for the briefing)
  • Bring a bottle or water and maybe some tea/coffee and snacks as we are sometimes digging away from the cycle centre
  • Don’t worry if you haven’t been on a dig with us before, you will be paired up with someone who has and we can show you what to do
  • You will be given a hi viz vest to wear for the day and safety briefing before you start


Digs start at 9.30am, and usually run until 12.30pm depending on the project being worked on.


We look forward to digging with you!
